• Trailer Hitch and Bike Carrier Recommendations for a 2010 Honda Odyssey
  The safest way to carry bikes is by using a trailer hitch and hitch mounted bike carrier. Trunk mount carriers only go up to 3 bikes, any more than that and it would put way too much stress on the attachment points on the vehicle. And the roof is probably not wide enough for all 4 bikes, let alone able to support the weight of 4 bikes. So the options are a combination of a trunk mount and roof mount set up or a trailer hitch and hitch mount bike carrier. I recommend the simplicity of a...

• Do I Need To Use The Spoiler Support Straps For The Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack
  We do recommend always using the spoiler support strap for additional stability and safety. Loosening the strap can be done fairly quickly, even quicker once you get the hang of it. From the looks of the spoiler on the back of a 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV you will definitely want to use the spoiler support strap kit that comes with the Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack # TH56BV.

• What Bike Rack Do You Recommend for My 2021 Kia Niro EV?
  I have a great bike rack solution for you. Unfortunately, we do not currently have a hitch that will fit your EV model of 2021 Kia Niro. However, a great alternative solution is a trunk rack. For that route, I recommend the Thule OutWay 2 # TH45JV or the Thule OutWay 3 # TH56BV. Both OutWay racks have a 33-pound per-bike weight capacity and comes with one-key system locks to deter the theft of your bikes from the rack as well as the rack from your vehicle. If you have bikes that have...

• Trailer Hitch for a 2009 Honda Accord Sedan and a Bike Rack
  For your 2009 Honda Accord sedan I recommend Curt trailer hitch # C11496. With the other hitch options there is an additional part you would need to be able to use a bike rack but not with this hitch. This and all of the hitches for your Accord are Class I hitches with 1-1/4 inch receivers. Class I trailer hitches are rated for a maximum of 2 bikes because it cannot handle additional weight that is further away from the receiver. I have linked the Class I compatible 2-bike racks for you....

• Recommended Bike Rack for 2013 Audi S4 Sedan
  The trunk-mount bike racks recommended for your 2013 Audi S4 Sedan can be seen on the linked page. These include both 2- and 3-bike carriers in both the hanging and platform styles. In general it is wise to use as lightweight a rack as possible in order to minimize the weight load on your trunk, but it is also true that the racks with the best construction and the most included features (like built-in locks) tend to weigh more. Better racks also tend to be easier to mount on the car. A...

• 2013 Nissan Pathfinder Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation
  If your 2013 Nissan Pathfinder is equipped with a rear spoiler, and from my research it most likely is, you might want to consider the Hollywood Rack Over the Top # HRF2.

The design of this trunk mounted bike rack reduces the stress that can be placed on the rear spoiler when using a trunk mount bike rack. The...

• Available 3-Bike Rack Options for 2010 Toyota Highlander
  Due to the fact that the support hooks would need to attach directly to the glass in the rear tailgate, none of our bike rack manufacturers recommend using a trunk mount rack on your vehicle. The glass lacks the strength to support the weight of the bikes and the carrier, and could shatter unexpectedly. This leaves a roof mount or a hitch mount option. If you have a bare roof, Rhino Rack the Vortex Aero Roof Rack that could be constructed using # RRVA137S-2 54 inch crossbars, the # RRRLKVA...

• Is the Thule OutWay 2Bike or 3Bike the Better Choice for Mounting My Mountain and Hybrid Bikes
  I recommend the Thule OutWay -3 bike rack # TH56BV to easily mount your bikes on your 2013 Toyota Corolla. This rack allows you to carry up to 99 lbs. so you will not have to worry about carrying too close to the weight capacity. Also, mounting two bikes is easier on a bike rack which carries 3 bikes over a bike rack only designed for two. When mounting your bikes, always have the heavier bike mounted closer to the vehicle. In your case, the hybrid bike most likely weighs more and should...

• 3 Bike Trunk Rack Recommendation for a 2008 Mazda 5
  For a 3 bike trunk mounted bike rack for your 2008 Mazda 5 I would recommend the Thule OutWay part # TH56BV for several reasons. But most importantly because you have small kid framed bikes and the arms of the rack are adjustable in width so they can accommodate kids bikes. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 retractable coated steel cables to attach to the vehicle rather than the 4-6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation...

• Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2004 Honda Accord Coupe That is Least Likely to Scratch Vehicle
  Any time you have a piece of equipment that's in direct contact with a painted surface on your vehicle, the possibility exists that the vehicle could get scratched. The important consideration is that you can greatly minimize the risk by ensuring that the surfaces of the rack and vehicle that touch each other are perfectly clean and free of grit. A coat of quality car wax on the vehicle surface can offer protection to the vehicle finish. It's also very important that the rack be set up...

This rack has an extra arm piece at the top to move the straps up and over any trim pieces or spoilers that would interfere with the hitch. Another option to carry 3 bikes on the Tahoe is to use a trailer hitch and hitch mount bike rack. Your Tahoe should have a factory trailer hitch so you would just need the bike...

  Yes, for your 2016 Hyundai Tucson I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack # HRF2-3. This rack has an additional upper arm piece that moves the top straps up and over that spoiler so no weight is put on it (since the spoiler is not meant to support weight). I have included a link to a video that shows how it works.
